Money spent on advertising is money spent as well as any I know of.It serves directly to assist a rapid distribution of goods at reasonable prices,there by establishing a firm home market and so making it possible to provide for export at competitive prices.By drawing attention to new ideas it helps enormously to raise standards of living.By helping to increase demand it ensures an increased need for labor,and therefore an effective way to fight unem-ployment.It lowers the costs of many services :without advertisements your daily newspaper would cost four times as much,he price of your television license would need to be doubled,and travel by bus or tube would cost more.
And perhaps most important of all,advertising provides a guarantee of reasonable value in the products and services you buy.Apart from the fact that twenty-seven Acts of Parlia-ment govern the terms of advertising,no regular advertiser dare promote a product that fails to live up to the promise of his advertisements.He might fool some people for a little while through misleading advertising.He will not do so for long,for mercifully the public has the good sense not to buy the inferior article more than once.If you see an article consistently advertised,it is surest proof I know that the article does what is claimed for it,and that it represents good value.
Advertising does more for the material benefit of the community than any other force can think of.
There is one more point I fee I ought to touch on.Recently I heard a well-known television personality declaring that he was against advertising because it persuades rather than informs.He was drawing excessively fine distinctions.Of course advertising seeks to persuade.
If its message were confined merely to information-and that in itself would be difficult if not impossible to achieve,for even a detail such as the choice of the color of a shirt is subtlty persuasive-advertising would be so boring that no one would pay any attention.But perhaps that is what the well-known television personality wants.
1.Which is the advantage of advertisements in the first paragraph?
[ ]
A.It can help to raise standard of living.
B.It lowers the costs of many services.
C.It is an effective way to fight unemployment.
D.All of above.
2.The writer thinks that advertising seeks to persuade is________.
[ ]
3.In the author's opinion,________.
[ ]
A.advertising costs too much money
B.advertisements can secure greater fame
C.It is worth spending money on advertising
D.advertisements never seek to persuade
4.The attitude of the author about advertising is________.

There are two ways to save money traveling. The first way is to get the best deals on the specific things you want. There is a limitation to this type of approach (途径,方法) though. If you find the lowest price on the best hotel in Honolulu at the height of the season, you will save money, but still have a very expensive vacation. Trying to get exactly what you want will generally be an expensive proposition, in travel and in life.
The other approach is to be a true opportunist. This will be difficult for some of you, and entirely unacceptable to others. Nonetheless (尽管如此),the travelers who get to travel the most, go to the widest variety of places, learn the most and do the most, are the opportunists. This will be true until you are so wealthy that you have no monetary (货币的;钱的)limits.
The first time I went to Ecuador, I went there because it was cheap. If it wasn’t, I would have had a great time—somewhere else. The trip lasted a month, and cost $1045, which included airfare and even the $130 fee for a guide to take me to the top or glacier (冰川) covered Mount Chimborazo.
I cut the cost by taking a bus from my home in Michigan to Miami, and back again when I returned from Ecuador. The round-trip ticket cost $158. The round-trip flight to Quito from Miami was only $256, because it was a courier (信使,通讯员) flight, which meant I signed for some luggage(car parts), and could only take carry-on luggage.
Never did I feel deprived, or bored. I had a great time, eating wherever it was cheap and clean, doing all sorts of inexpensive, but interesting things, and traveling across the country to climb Chimborazo. I also met and fell in love with my wife Ana.
Being an opportunist means you’ll have just as much variety, and probably almost everything you want—eventually. You just have to stop trying to get exactly what you want exactly when you want it. If the guide that took me up Chimborazo hadn’t dropped his price from $200 to $130, I would have spent $2 for a bus and gone hiking on EI Altar, another great Andean mountain. That would have left me with enough money for several other minor adventures.
【小题1】The underlined phrase “the best deals” in the first paragraph probably refers to ______.
A.the best service | B. the lowest price |
C.the cheapest goods | D. the best approaches |
A.$128 | B. $256 | C. $207 | D. $414 |
A.save money for minor adventures |
B.cut down traveling costs. |
C.deal with different situations |
D.become opportunist travelers |
A.went hiking on El Altar |
B.traveled with his wife in Ecuador |
C.is an opportunist traveler |
D.likes traveling around the world |
A.Cheap Travel Secrets | B. Travel Secrets |
C.A Travel Opportunist | D. Travel Tips |

Singles Day falls on every November 11th, and as the name indicates, this relatively new holiday is one exclusively for people who are still living the single life. I was a bit surprised when I googled “Singles Day” on the Internet, to find that China is the only country in the world that has set aside a special day for singles to celebrate their lives. To find out more about this celebration, please read on.
An old story goes that once there were four single men, leading very boring lives. None of them were married, or had lovers, or did anything exciting. They just sat around all day and played Mahjong.
One day they played Mahjong from 11 in the morning until 11 at night. During the game, no matter who won, the winning card was always the “four columns” card (the card shows four independent, parallel columns in two lines). Even more of a coincidence, it was Nov 11, or 11/11. In order to commemorate the day, they nicknamed it Singles Day.
Singles Day was first celebrated at various universities in Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province during the 1990s. It got the name Singles Day because the date consists of four “ones”. These college students have since graduated, and carried their university tradition into society. Singles Day is now a special day for all fashionable youths.
The main way to celebrate Singles Day is to have dinner with your single friends, but it’s important that each person pay their own fee to show their independence. People also hold “blind date” parties in an attempt to say goodbye to their single lives.
Many singles also choose to say goodbye to their single lives on this day. Many attend “blind date” parties and many people choose to marry on this day. In addition to meaning “single” the four “ones” of the date can also mean “only one” as in “the only one for me.” Some people will use this date and this meaning to tell their special someone that they are the only “one” in their heart.
【小题1】Singles Day got its name because _______.
A.the persons who play Mahjong are four singles |
B.the date consists of four “ones” |
C.only single persons celebrate the day |

A.the four singles did not get married |
B.Singles Day receives great popularity among young people |
C.when having dinner, one pays the fee for all his friends |
D.on Singles Day many attend parties where blind people were present |
A.The Origin of Singles Day. | B.How to Celebrate Singles Day. |
C.Singles Day. | D.Say Goodbye to Singles Day. |
